Maryland Lady Terps Win 2009 ACC Tournament

It was another battle to save in the vault between the Terps and the Blue Devils. Though this was the first time they met in the ACC Tournament finals, it wasn’t their first meeting in a final in their history. But, as in the 2006 NCAA Championship game, Maryland toughed it out for a hard-won win (Duke 89 – MD 92).

Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles 0217 “Ourselves Alone” – Featuring our primary cast, this episode hit a lot of important issues.

Season 3 For Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Can Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles avoid the cancellation block and get renewed for a third season? Despite what some of the knee-jerk naysayers are naysaying, I believe that FOX still has reason to stick with the show provided a few small changes are made.

T:TSCC 0216 – Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep

A whirlwind of dreams and reality mix to reveal how difficult it must be to be Sarah Connor. She views the world in her own special way. Mostly, though, her world revolves around John. John and Cameron. But mostly John. If only that world were larger, I’d likely be giving a better review.

2009 WNBA Draft – Pre-tournament Scout

As we complete the last week or so of the regular season for most of Division I, I’ve started considering what the upcoming WNBA draft is going to look like. I like to make my selections now instead of tournament time because the one-or-done format can rob some prospects of equal consideration.

As a town mourns the loss of all the workers of a warehouse disaster (disaster/massacre…po-tay-to/po-tah-to — at least there was a nifty explosion), the Connor Cadre infiltrates the funeral to gather more information about the place that resulted in Sarah getting shot as well as her first kill.

T:TSCC 0214 – The Good Wound

Can a moment of clarity be found in a hallucination? Perhaps, if you’ve been jailed in a mental institution for a couple of years because you told the truth about killer robots and nuclear Armageddon, that’s the only place where you can find your moments of clarity. Sarah Connor only knew Kyle Reese for two days, but they loved a lifetime’s worth. It’s hardly surprising that when she needs to turn to someone for advice, it would be Kyle.

Nameless Jerseys Revisited

A little over three years ago I bemoaned the fact that Tennessee had elected to not have their player’s names on their jerseys. Since then, the policy has spread like an epidemic from school to school. I still think that this dubious practice is bad for women’s basketball and quite possibly for team sports in general.

Sex and the Single Cyborg

In a world where the machines are in charge, the old ways of making babies are dead. The intelligent machines will want to continue their reign. Being made out of metal and all…how are they going to do that? How could they possibly be fruitful and multiply?
